Lactated Ringers Injection Bags

Balanced crystalloid IV fluid for dehydration, shock, and electrolyte imbalances in horses and small animals. Balanced isotonic crystalloid solution. Composition: sodium (130 mEq/L), chloride (109 mEq/L), potassium (4 mEq/L), calcium (3 mEq/L), lactate (28 mEq/L). Mechanism: IV fluid replacement therapy — lactate is metabolized to bicarbonate (alkalinizing). Tonicity similar to plasma (~273 mOsm/L). Expands intravascular and interstitial fluid compartments. Key information Isotonic crystalloid IV fluid. Store at room temperature. Check for clarity before use. Do not use for hyperkalemia (contains potassium). Incompatible with calcium-containing solutions when combined with bicarbonate. Single-use container.

IV: administer via IV catheter as CRI or bolus. Rate depends on patient status and clinical indication. Warm to body temperature before large-volume administration (reduce hypothermia risk). Not compatible with blood products or sodium bicarbonate in the same line. Store at room temperature; protect from light. If a dose is missed This medication is administered by a veterinarian or veterinary staff in a clinical setting. Missed doses are managed by your veterinary team — contact your veterinarian to reschedule.

Fluid overload/pulmonary edema (excessive administration or cardiac/renal compromise). Hyponatremia/hypernatremia (dependent on rate and patient status). Hypothermia with rapid large-volume infusion. Phlebitis at catheter site. Calcium incompatibility (do not mix with blood products or sodium bicarbonate).

For animals Avoid in patients with hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, or lactic acidosis (already high lactate levels). Incompatible with blood products and sodium bicarbonate (calcium precipitates). Large-volume administration: monitor electrolytes and volume status. For people handling this medication Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children. If accidental ingestion occurs, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222). IV crystalloid — administered by veterinary staff. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

IV fluid rate errors are managed by veterinary staff. Contact your veterinarian. Fluid overload causes pulmonary edema and signs of congestive heart failure.
